There's lots of fun, quirky, and geeky stuff out there. I write about it.
You already know I have an…enthusiasm for music, especially of the live variety.

I’m so easily distracted, and I was supposed to be doing something else…not watching random Sesame Street videos on YouTube, for sure. The “concentrate” video mostly put me back on task. At work, we’re […]
Read More Concentrate, Concentrate…I’m big on using music when I’m…actually, pretty much all the time. There’s a soundtrack to my life, and at any given moment smart odds are I’ve got a song in my head. It is essential to my whole creative process…thing.
